None of the major characters use their "wish" for their own benefit
I thought Mami did--didn't she wish just to survive after a car wreck that killed her family? Aaaand her punishment for wishing selfishly is decapitation ahaha. Homura's wish is about saving Madoka, but it's also explicitly about her own personal development: becoming someone stronger who can "protect rather than be protected" (so shounen!).
